I did a recipe very similar to this about 2 years ago for Christmas dinner. My family went crazy over it. I thought my father was going to bust if He ate any more of it.

I would personally choose coriander as a substitute for cloves in this particular recipe. I love cloves, but the coriander is subtler for most taste buds.

Herbs that go well with pork are caraway seeds, coriander, cumin, curry powder, dill, garlic, rosemary, sage, fennel, savory and thyme .... take your pick.

Is there another spice to add since our family does not care for the taste of cloves?

My family LOVES this recipe! It's perfect for Sunday dinner company. There is no need to double the sauce when cooking twice the amount of meat.
